UK Penny Floor Project | Using 27,000 1 penny coins and creating a copper penny floor.

When thinking about what to lay in the kitchen we came up with a fantastic idea inspired from what we had seen online. We saw a bunch of penny floor projects in the USA, it seemed a really popular way of creating a bespoke retro floor for any part of the house, but wasnt done in the UK. Challenge accepted!

We took 27,000 1p coins and decided to give our kitchen diner a new look. Each coin was individually glued to the floor which had been self levelled before hand and left to dry. After gluing down all the coins a black grout was applied to fill the gaps followed by a high gloss epoxy resin to cover and seal.

The end result is simply awesome. The floor looks stunning and the weeks of hard work has been worth the pain.

What happens when you’re walking around and you drop a penny? How are you gonna find it

[ZLU]

Mr krabs is gonna lose it when he finds out

[ghostcorpse]

Wonder what laying the first penny was like "f*** what have i gotten myself into?"

[respectableaf]

The floor was in desperate need of *change* 😁

[bindi]

Imagine dropping a penny on that floor on accident...

[nebmis]

imagine not pressing "save game" button after doing this much of progress

[danielcabral]

*looks down* wow, a penny, must be my lucky day!

Just love going through the comments and reading all the puns

"Oh honey, I think we forgot one penny right here..."

Sounds cheaper then getting professionally installed tbh

Update 2019 please....what does it look like now?

4:14 they actually cut the pennies in half for corners

[neilmcgivern]

I would have put them all the same way up apart from one coin, then challange visitors to find the odd one out!

[paskalaitospieksamaki]

Then they found out they're on rent

[jacksonjuly]

I had this idea ten years ago. I actually wanted to do a table top and the front of my fireplace too. I'm definitely going to complete my idea now that I've seen this

[SpaztallicA]

but the real question

would it have looked better if all the pennies had been polished?

[mudokin]

Pro tip, if you ever need money, just remodel.

[wade-potato]

You could say that floor cost “A pretty penny”

[elokin]

Only $270? I guess you could say that floor was *worth* it??

It would be cool if the pennies, with their different brightnesses and darknesses of color, made a picture/design on the floor!
